Pizza Ingredients

Method

Pizza Preparation

  1. 1

    Prepare the Dough

    Preheat your oven to 475°F (245°C). Roll out the pizza dough on a floured surface to your desired thickness and shape.

  2. 2

    Add the Sauce

    Spread the San Marzano tomato sauce evenly over the rolled-out dough, leaving a small border around the edges.

  3. 3

    Add Cheese and Seasoning

    Sprinkle the mozzarella cheese over the sauce. Drizzle with olive oil, then sprinkle salt and dried oregano on top.

  4. 4

    Bake the Pizza

    Place the pizza in the preheated oven and bake for 12-15 minutes or until the crust is golden brown and the cheese is bubbly.

  5. 5

    Garnish

    Once the pizza is done baking, remove it from the oven and let it cool for a minute. Add fresh basil leaves on top before slicing.

  6. 6

    Serve

    Slice the pizza into wedges and serve hot.
